The new government has a unique opportunity to revisit environmental law and regulation, left stagnant for decades.
It has been about three weeks since Narendra Modi’s government was sworn in, and the ministry of environment and forests has already begun to make news. Day one saw a welcome step forward, with the MoEF changing its name to include the words “climate change”. Later, the new minister, Prakash Javadekar, announced that a number of steel and mining projects would immediately be given clearances. This is at best a symbolic step. The challenges before him are larger than simply clearing projects. On environmental regulation, we are still stuck in 1991. If sustainable development is to become a reality, we must think about major reforms in environmental regulation.
